Who Sells Seat Track Plastic Guides

[70sixpkrt]

Who sells the seat track plastic guides and ball bearings?

[Paul G]

No one. I have had to make my own flimsy little metal retainers before. I wish that part was reproduced.

Is this the sort of thing that could be 3-D printed?  Just a thought? 

[Paul G]

If you have the ability, and can try to 3D print those successfully, you that market to yourself.

I'm finding out that nobody is currently making these. I don't have access to a 3D printer and know nobody that has one.

[XH29N0G]

I don't have the skills, but I will ask around to see how difficult it would be.  I suspect my son might know and we have a 3 D printer also where I work.  I couldn't use that, but at least it means there might be someone I could ask who might know what would be needed. 

If I learn anything I will post about it.

   They look the same as in my 80 Roadrunner. Found a good used set in Arizona.   Get out to a scrap yard and find a old set of buckets. By the looks of them they are all the same. I was going to machine a set out of aluminium if the used set didn't hold up. They would not be that hard to mill up. If you had a good one to go by.
Still holding up after 7 more years of use. The used set that is.
Good luck.

I have seen brand new seat tracks now available in the mags. So they must have made a roller retainer. I wish it was available separately.

Little late to the party on this one but I'm in the process of starting up a side business 3D printing otherwise unavailable restoration parts and doing custom parts etc.

Shoot me a PM or check out my website: www.nextgendesignsnc.com and shoot me an email, I'd be happy to take a look at these and see if it's something I could help with.
